[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 1110480, member: 45148"] First things first, the best of luck to you. However, I think you may be overthinking this (and you wouldn't be alone) I think that this is key. The degree of these allergies is what is important and the foods that affect you. If budget is such a priority, then sharing food in a communal meal will most likely deliver the best bang for buck. Of course, that may not work for broad allergies. Note that buying food to cook for one is not particularly cheap in the current climate. You'll probably be carrying staples (more weight) and anything fresh will need to be packed carefully to avoid damage or spoiling. There are laws, set locally, about fires and stoves. While gas stoves are normally exempt I have never been able to get a definitive answer on whether my Trangia is compliant or not. It is common in parts of Spain for there to be a complete ban on fires for part of the year - including barbecues in campgrounds, as an example. After devestating wildfires last year I'd imagine more of these this year. In April in northern Spain, though, I'm not too sure. However, if you plan on cooking in the grounds of an Albergue I cannot see an issue if you explain your need and demonstrate that you are not reckless. There is a lot to be said for sharing a meal with others or even enjoying a Pilgrim's menu that has a value over and above the Euro price. Similarly, there's a cost to being the lone traveller cooking up a one pot meal outside an Albergue. (The fumes can be fatal and should only be used indoors when there is lots of ventilation. I've cooked indoors on mine but an Albergue is communal). I'd encourage you to look at the real world effects of your allergies and see how you can make them compatible with communal meals or eating out. Spanish kitchens, in my experience, can be very flexible and accommodating when they are open (!) and not too busy. Or, as suggested above do an extra bit of research and choose places to stay based on cooking options. It's Spain - you won't starve :) [/QUOTE]
